Organic macadamia oil- A beauty oil from down under
This round power nut really packs a punch: in its homeland of Australia, its precious oil has always been used by Aborigines as a popular oil for food and skin care. The macadamia tree loves the warm tropical climate of Australia and is particularly demanding in terms of its surroundings. Its limited cultivation area and complex harvesting process make the macadamia nut the most expensive in the world. Thanks to its high absorbency and high fat content, macadamia oil is very popular beauty oil, and here at lavera we can’t imagine life without it!.
INCI name: Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil
Typical growing region: Australia
Special talent: Protects and cares for dry skin
The queen of nuts- a real diva
The macadamia nut tree is native to the rainforests of Queensland, among other areas, but is now also cultivated in New Zealand, South Africa, Africa, Costa Rica and Guatemala. This evergreen tree can reach a height of up to 15m, and bears chestnut-like stone fruits. Only after 10 years does a macadamia nut tree bear its first fruits. At first glance, the harvest of macadamia nuts looks fairly simple: the rips fruits, which conceal the valuable kernels, simply fall from the tree and are then collected by harvesters. But anyone who thinks the story ends there is mistaken. To get the kernel, which is the delicious macadamia nut, time and patience are required. The shell of the macadamia nut is so hard that it has to dried out for a long time- until it becomes porous- before it can be cracked. Only then can the kernel be revealed.
